Tuition Assistance

We are committed to making our classes available to everyone by offering scholarships and tuition assistance. A dedicated amount of financial assistance is available each year to adults, youth, and teens that otherwise cannot afford to participate in Pratt classes or workshops.

Pratt depends on generous contributions to keep our class rates affordable, to offer free weekend classes for local children,
to provide scholarships and tuition assistance for those in need, and to bring renowned Master Artists to campus to share
creative intelligence from all around the world.
